First Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon seems to love to show off luxury jewellery but has so far refused to come up with an explanation of their origins. Gen Prawit said Wednesday he was ready to explain the matter to the NACC. "I will answer to the NACC," said Gen Prawit, who also serves as defence minister. In December 2008, Gen Prawit was appointed defence minister in the Abhisit Vejjajiva administration, a position he held for almost three years. The Supreme Court also ruled last year that Mr Somsak was unusually rich and seized 16 million baht worth of his property in Ang Thong.
